A secluded 1919 château above Cannes, the only one overlooking the bay from sunrise to sunset.
On the hill of La Croix des Gardes above Cannes, Château de la Croix des Gardes has been a landmark of the Côte d’Azur since the early 20th century. Built in 1919 and famously used as a filming location for Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief, the historic estate holds 16 rooms and suites within 25 acres of manicured gardens.
It remains the only château overlooking the Bay of Cannes from sunrise to sunset, with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, the Lérins Islands, and the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. The estate pairs that outlook with total privacy, along with a spa, valet service, and a concierge who arranges activities on request.
